The largest and second largest hostage taking events in modern history both took place in hospitals.

Members of at least 54 terrorist groups worldwide are known to have impersonated medical personnel; at least 174 ambulances have been utilized in terrorist operations.

The bloodiest shooting on a U.S. military base was perpetrated by a U.S. Army physician with a “Secret” security clearance. The deadliest single attack ever against the CIA was carried out by a trusted Jordanian doctor . . .

More terrorist groups have been headed by physicians than any other single profession; al-Qaeda, Hamas, PFLP, Abu Nidal, Hezbollah, etc. [Authors identified 384 doctors who were members of terrorist and guerrilla organizations.]

Three of the ten deadliest bombings in recent years occurred in the healthcare environment.

Hundreds of medical workers in the U.S., including doctors, nurses, EMTs and lab technicians, have been members of domestic and international organizations.
